Value of old 78 records

Question

Hi, I have found some old 78 records dated from 1908, still in mint condition as well as the covers they originally came in. Any ideas of the value they might have??

Answer 1

Old jazz and blues 78s from the 1920s and early 1930s tend to bring the most money,however early Victor Grand Prize Red Seal or Victor Red Seal Monarch recordings of opera can be worth money and a Victor Grand Prize recording numberd 4911 of The United States Marine Band playing Scott Joplins Maple Leaf Rag which I own is worth a great deal.However recordings by King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band,Fred Gardners Texas University Troubadors and other early jazz and blues artests can brings large sums of money  Ed Rounds
